• Young child killed at Tyrepower

A “cheeky” child who was tragically killed when he was struck in a northern suburbs car park has been remembered as “a true blessing in typical boy form”.

Family and strangers have left tributes including flowers, a children’s football and a little monster truck at Tyrepower Elizabeth where the boy died at the scene on Friday.

One person sticky-taped a note to the fence describing the young northern suburbs child as a “blessing”.

“The world lost part of its sunshine today,” they wrote.

“Your beautiful, cheeky smile will be missed by so many. You were such a light to everyone who knew you. A true blessing in typical boy form.

“Love you always, my chunky.”
